The raw materials, waste foundry sand and clay soil were chemically and microstructural characterized and different samples were designed. Compact bodies were prepared with 10%, 20%, 30%, 40% and 50% (wt%) of waste. They were thermally treated in the range 950- 1000ºC.

In order to bring a solution to the problem of waste foundry sand (WFS) in the foundry sector and achieve its reuse, geopolymer building material (as a cementless technology) was produced from the WFS for the first time in the literature in this study. The physical and mechanical characteristics of this material were determined. In the first part of the experimental step, the sieve analysis
The local South African foundry industry discharges large volumes of waste sand each year, with estimates for silica and chromite sands of 250,000 and 25,000 tons, respectively. As a developing country, South Africa is moving toward a greener environment, so the management of industrial waste is an imperative area of study. In this work, we present the laboratory analysis results of the
Foundry sand, an indispensable component of the metal casting process, is discarded after a number of metal casting operations. Virgin sand is then required for any new casting processes, and the spent foundry sand is treated as waste, resulting in huge amounts of discarded sand being either stockpiled or dumped into landfills. This results in a wide scale consumption of natural resources despite the fact
Foundry sand is basically high quality silica sand which is a by-product of both ferrous and non-ferrous metal casting industries. The primary metals cast include iron and steel from the ferrous family and aluminium, copper, brass and bronze form the nonferrous family.
Pathariya Saraswati C, Ranajay krushnaK studied the compressive strength of the concrete by replacement of the local sand by foundry waste sand by 0%, 20%, 40% and 60% and they found that for 60% replacement of local sand by waste foundry sand
red clay bricks and tiles. The waste material comes from a metallurgical industry placed in the south of Santa Fe Province, Argentina. This industrial waste, foundry sand, has been characterized by several authors in order to analyze the risk of its disposal in landfills, with particular emphasis
Like many waste products, foundry sand has beneficial applications to other industries. Foundry sand consists primarily of silica sand, coated with a thin film of burnt carbon, residual binder (bentonite, sea coal, resins) and dust. Foundry sand can be used in concrete to improve its strength and other durability factors. Foundry Sand can be used as a partial replacement of cement or as a

After each foundry operation, the moulds are opened up, large parts in the foundry sand are sieved and removed, and new sand is added to the system in the amount the sand that is removed. After a certain number of cycles, foundry sand becomes unusable for the moulds, which is discarded from the foundry as waste foundry sand (WFS). The reasons for this are (i) physical and chemical degradation of the
Foundries & Metal Casting Manufacturers from Indonesia, Indonesian Foundry Industry, Cast Iron, Steel & Non-Ferrous Cast Parts Suppliers, continuous and centrifugal bronze casting, aluminum die casting, cast steels, green sand casting and furan sand casting, casts for automotive and mining industries, cylinder liners, pump components, gate valves, electrical accessories, pulleys, crusher
19.12.2018· Foundry sand (FS) waste originates from clean, very uniformly sized and rich in silica, high-quality sand, used by metal foundries for metal casting and moulding processes. It can be repeatedly recycled, crushed down to a raw, uniform sand material and used again for casting, until it degrades and becomes unsuitable for further recycling within the foundry. It is then discarded, creating a serious
Pathariya Saraswati C, Ranajay krushnaK studied the compressive strength of the concrete by replacement of the local sand by foundry waste sand by 0%, 20%, 40% and 60% and they found that for 60% replacement of local sand by waste foundry sand
Foundry sand generation and reuse is a growing challenge for the metal casting and processing industries. The annual generation of foundry waste (including dust and spent foundry sand) in the
cannot be longer used it is removed from foundry as a waste for disposed known as “ waste foundry sand ” the used waste foundry sand as a partial substitutes or total substitutes by fine aggregate in concrete leads in production of economic, light, weight, high strength of
Regardless of the application, foundries and foundry sand recyclers should consult state regula- tors to ensure that planned uses are consistent with state beneficial use and waste management programs and that the chemical and physical properties of the sand meet applicable state environmental limits, engineering performance criteria, and other state requirements. Once a foundry decides to
